Sommario/riassunto

The theoretical views about the adult that Erik Erikson spent a great portion  of his own adult life developing represent essential knowledge. In the entire  twentieth century, he stands alone as the one thinker who changed our  minds about what it means to live as a person who has arrived at a chronologically  mature position and yet continues to grow, to change, and to develop.
